Is it really almost Halloween again? Here’s a quick printable activity that will get kids in the Halloween spirit — paper pumpkin baskets!

The finished pumpkin basket could be filled with small sweets and given as a gift, or used as a festive Halloween decoration idea. 

The pumpkin template comes in both full colour and line art so kids can colour their own. The example in the photograph is the line art version printed to orange construction paper.

We recommend you use heavy weight stock for the paper, especially if you plan of filling the basket. Paper will also work, it just won’t be quite as sturdy.

 

How to make a Pumpkin Basket

You will need:

  • The pumpkin basket template (enter your details into the box above and it will be emailed to you)
  • Card stock paper in orange or white, or ordinary paper if you have no card stock
  • Scissors & double sided tape
  • A blunt butter knife or a scoring tool
  • ruler

How to:

  1. Print the basket out. If you’re printing to orange paper use the line art version, and if printing to white you can use either.
  2. Use your blunt knife and ruler to score along the fold lines (scoring creates an indent which makes them very easy to fold neatly).
  3. Use your double sided tape to stick the flaps down, stick on the handle and you’re done.

    Hi,
    Thank you for sharing your ideas and projects. I check here often when grandkids are coming to visit or I’m headed to their house to babysit. They ask, “What activities are we doing today?” I give them choices. Sometimes we can do them all; sometimes we can’t. The part I love most is how each makes changes and ideas grow.
    Thank you again.
    Best wishes,
    Kathy D

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
